Recently, I had a similar problem. The fan was full of dust so was the heat sink. I bought a new fan and heat sink and the thermal compound for the cpu. If I remember correctly, it was around a $20 expenditure.
Pulled the cpu cleaned it and put it back together. Works fine.

Hey there ProFox gang, I got a bit of a Hardware problem - and I am no HW expert by any stretch of the imagination. That being said - I did build from scratch my last 3 PC's - the 1st 2 being Athlon based and my last one going back to the Intel chips. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/000601caac2d$2661cd50$732567...@com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
